LEAFING THROUGH LIFE'S UNREAD STORIES

What should you do with books bought or given, but left unread? Visitors to Singapore can donate them to The Library Of Unread Books.

- Thana Boonlert

In collaboration with Renée Staal, Singaporean artist Heman Chong is presenting an itinerant ever-expanding collection of books that are unread by their previous owners. As books are stacked on tables for perusal, the library enacts the transition of private property to a common pool, where people can share resources to extend the lifespan of books.
